It occurs to me that it contains cult like aspects to it. In that if you don't believe or if you doubt what Coats is saying that automatically makes you, in his belief system (cultish belief system) a racist. That's cult like thought.
When he says that people are "elegantly racist" what he is saying is that "elegant racists" found a way to reject his soul saving way of living. they are unconverted.. or something.
This could explain the fervor behind the anti Sterling/Bundy condemnations.
Sterling and Bundy confirm the tenets of the faith, that most of them, if not all of them, white people are lost (racist) and they need to do something - "this town needs a better class of racists" in order to be accepted into the kingdom of the saved people - ie non-racists people.
The strongest evidence of cultish thought is that if don't accept what Coates is putting forward you are a racist - ie lost.

Wow, the Sox just made a DP on deep fly ball to center. You don't see that everyday.
I've just watched the Bill Clinton Jimmy Kimmel Live UFO interview.
I'm convinced Clinton knows something and can't tell us.

I wonder what Crack, anti-cult extraordinaire, has to say about it.
Is he so deep into his "anti-racism" cult, that he cant see it for what is becoming. A religion.
Sterling and Bundy float if you put them in the water.
Will be doing this tune with the Dawgz tonight!
I'm always surprised when the audience sings along because I can never remember the friggin' lyrics.
I use a cheat sheet... my iPad carefully concealed atop my keyboard.
